UDF has clarified that you were expelled because you went against the Political Parties Act, which states that a person who, while being a member of a political party in any way or manner, promotes the ideology, interests, or policies of another political party, is deemed to have resigned from the previous political party. Please comment.

Party leader Musalia Mudavadi has no locus standi to expel me from UDF. He is not a registered official of UDF. I can only be expelled by the bona fide officials of the party if there is a reason for that, though I am aware that the matter is still pending before the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal. If it decides in favour of (Omar) Hassan, then it will come to a close but if it favours Mudavadi, he has a right to exercise his threat. That is when I will respond, which will be informed by the legality.
